Every block you add to a page comes filled with sample words and photos. This guide shows you how to make them yours: change the text right where you read it, swap a photo for one of your own, point a button to the right page, and find the rest of a block's options.

You don't need to open a separate form for the everyday changes. You click on the page, as if you were writing on it.

Change a text

Click the words you want to change: a title, a paragraph, a caption. A blinking cursor appears in the text.
Type, delete or select words as you would in any text editor. To replace a whole title, select it all and type the new one.
Click anywhere outside the text when you're done. The change is kept.

In a Freeform block, the first click selects the text box (so you can move it). Click it again, or double-click it, to type. See Blocks for the two kinds of blocks.

Change a photo

Move the mouse over the photo. A Replace label appears in the middle.
Click it. The Choose a photo window opens with the photos of your Media library.
Click the photo you want, then press Use this photo. It takes the place of the old one straight away.

Tip: the photo isn't in your library yet? Press Upload in the same window, or drag the files into it. In a gallery, use Add photos in the bar at the top right of the block to add several at once.

Change a button and its link

The words on the button: click them and type, like any other text.
Where it goes: move the mouse over the button. A small round chain icon appears on its corner (Edit link). Click it to open Button link.
Choose one of your pages from the list, or click the chain icon next to the list to type a web address (for example your Instagram profile).

While you edit, clicking a button doesn't open its link, so you can't leave the editor by mistake. Use Preview in the top bar to try the links.

More options: the Edit button

Words, photos and links are on the page. Everything else (colors, layout, how many columns, spacing, effects) is in the block's options.

Move the mouse over the block and click Edit, the dark button at its top left corner.
The block's options open in a window next to it, with the block's name at the top. You can drag the window by its top bar if it covers what you're looking at.
Use the tabs at the top to find what you need. A block shows only the tabs it has:
- Content — what the block says and shows: texts, photos, lists of items.
- Style — how it looks: Typography, Colors, Spacing.
- Settings — how it's built and behaves, like its layout.
- Animations — how it moves when visitors scroll to it. When a block has only one animation setting, you'll find it in Style instead.
Each change shows on the page as you make it. Close the window with the × when you're done.

Good to know: blocks follow the colors and fonts of your site's theme (see Colours, fonts and themes). When you change the style of one block, the bottom of its window says Customised. Press Reset to theme style there to make it follow the theme again.

Good to know

Your work is saved as a draft while you edit (the top bar says Draft saved). Visitors see the changes only after you press Publish page.
Made a mistake? Undo and Redo are the two arrows in the top bar.
Use your own photos everywhere. Sample photos are there to show the layout, not to stay.
Check the phone view after changing long titles: a title that fits on one line on a computer can take three on a phone. See Your site on a phone.
